Software Architect (Kernel) - Cambridge

This is an exciting opportunity to lead system software development within a forward-looking CPU Architecture team. You will be at the forefront of pioneering next-generation CPU innovations and integrating them into critical software ecosystems, shaping the future of Cloud and Mobile computing. As both a hands-on individual contributor and a technical leader, you will collaborate closely with CPU architects and cross-functional teams worldwide to ensure flawless integration of new architectural features, driving software optimization and performance across diverse platforms.

Required :

• 5+ years of experience in system software development, with a focus on kernel or hypervisor development, low-level system programming (C / C++ / assembly), and firmware / OS design.
• Proven track record of leading system software projects while actively contributing to codebases (C / C++ / Python).
• Ability to drive the full software lifecycle—from concept to production, deployment, and maintenance.
• Deep understanding of CPU architecture principles (particularly Arm-based systems), translating them into secure, high-performance software solutions.
• Extensive experience with Linux stacks, including kernel drivers, firmware, networking, storage, and OS internals.
• Strong knowledge of device driver integration, testing methodologies, and design for test / validation best practices.
• Familiarity with open-source development processes, upstream Linux collaboration, and community engagement.
• Track record of successfully integrating contributions into mainstream projects.
• Experience with software profiling, optimization, and instrumentation to maximize performance for workloads, applications, and compilers.
• Ability to effectively communicate complex technical ideas to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
• Demonstrated success in coordinating across diverse teams and disciplines to achieve shared objectives.
